just do some basic google research. the country of romania has slowly and steadily building a terriblereputation for online crimes since the year 2000. from ebay auction fraud, online blackmail, scam websites,etc.. you name it. when you have talented programmers and comp sci people unable to find good work...well some turn to the easy money online crime can bring.

If you do a specific google search using terms as Romania and cyber crime you will certainly have the results you want, the same way you would find "relevant" results if you use terms like Romania and alien sightings.

According to those US is still number one while Romania is not even mentioned.

I have no doubts that if you search deep enough you WILL find Romania mentioned in this context because is true that we have an increased number of cyber-crimes like many other countries. We also have an increased number of reports of alien sightings.

While I am convinced myself that the Romanian ASIC is a plain (and naive) scam your dismissal of it just because it came from Romania is just a case of prejudice against a country.

After I did my "basic google research" at your suggestion I found out that US is the most involved country in online crimes (online blackmail, scam websites, etc.. you name it).

Should I have the same prejudice about US or should I just use my common sense?

.... when you have talented programmers and comp sci people unable to find good work...well some turn to the easy money online crime can bring.

I guess you're not aware that Romanian is the second language at the Microsoft US headquarters. You can imagine we also have top workers at Google, Yahoo, etc. so employment is not a problem, at least not for IT. Don't be so shallow and do your homework when judging a whole country. bASIC has scammed us big time, you don't see people say US is a cybercrime country, although its in the top like philips showed(yet not so correctly considering US computers are being hacked and used as proxies)

Just a quick factcheck: all of BTC finance currently comes out of Romania. This is because all you Aussies, Brits, 'Mericans and so forth weren't smart enough to do it, and so MP had to come do it for you. Chillax on the jingo bs, it's out of place.

But yea, stereotyping a whole country is not very nice. But a lot of people do it for safety reasons.No different when I sell on ebay and stereotype a whole countries postal service as terribly bad andrefuse to ship there. So if anyone is offended I apologize but this scam was just so stereotypical I chuckled when I read the romanian connection.

The question then becomes who uploaded that and what was his ulterior motive. One might think for instance of a situation where someone would upload content like that explicitly for the purpose of then accusing the hoster of hosting such content.

For the record, the only thing I ever saw on that chan were escorts advertising their services.
